  1. This was really good! I didn't have a tart pan, so just made it in a regular pie plate. I hesitated to post the photo since I basically messed up the tart from beginning to end. First I bought a deep dish crust and should have gotten a regular size one. Then I forgot to add the pecans before I poured the caramel into the crust. So I had to try to pour it back in the pan, add the pecans and then put it back in the crust. Finally I bought the wrong chocolate chips and they really did not want to melt. I had a hard time drizzling the chocolate on the tart. Even though I did make a mess of the recipe, the flavor was wonderful and we all enjoyed it. Made for Under Cover Pies and Tarts.

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
